Uprooted Tree I
Stoneware, Glazes, Acrylics, 52"t x 22 "w x 15.5" d

 
This piece is a continuation of an investigation into family history. The female form rises from an uprooted tree, an uprooted family tree whose branches are exposed and reaching to the sky turned upside down. Four trees, with leaves that are all different, grow over one another each trying to overcome the other growth, while together they support the main fgure. The tree's roots are reaching upwards over the figure and become entertwined and form DNA strands.
